Not-So-Supporting Cast? Give Me a Break ESPN

In response to an article on ESPN.com about the Orlando Magic upsetting the Cleveland Cavaliers:


"ORLANDO, Fla. -- LeBron James walked off the court, head down, brushing off a few pieces of confetti. He ignored the few taunts by Magic fans and took one last look at the crowd without muttering a word.

Not to anyone.

A scintillating series by the NBA's MVP was washed away by his not-so-supporting cast, as the Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated Saturday night with a 103-90 loss to the Orlando Magic in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals."


The Cleveland Cavaliers have come up short again. Obviously, it is impossible for a player to win an NBA championship by himself, so the Cavaliers organization went out and got him some much needed help. They aquired All-Star point guard Mo Williams in the off-season, and verteran Joe Smith late in the season. Adding some much needed depth to the Cleveland roster.

So why did the Cavs lose to the Orlando Magic? I believe much of it had to do with poor coaching and Clevelands lack of discipline. Lebron is a great basketball player, and the Cavs offense should run through James. However, Lebron had the ball in his hands way too much. No one else was able to do anything. Mo Williams and Delonte West were unable to contribute consistantly like they were able to do in the regular season, Big Z couldn't get into a groove (partially because of his awful defense on Dwight Howard), and the Cavs came up short yet again.

Don't you wish they would wait until after the playoffs to select Coach of the Year? No way Mike Brown would win it now. The Cavs made the right moves this season, Lebron finally has a solid supporting cast, but in the end it was Lebron James vs. the Orlando Magic.....and Lebron will have to Witness someone else win the title yet again.
